High-grade elixir!

  Feng Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she secretly resented Mu Qing's song, wondering which pot was not opened to mention which pot.

  Isn't losing face enough for a single high-grade elixir?

  Moreover, at this time, saying such a thing, isn't it pushing him into the fire pit? Who doesn't know that high-grade alchemists are extremely rare, and in the entire Alchemy Division, apart from Master Lou and Dean Hua being high-grade alchemists, there is only one person who can occasionally refine high-grade elixirs.

  The four disciples of Yao Tower present here are still unable to refine high-grade elixirs.

  They can't even refine it yet, but one of his disciples who hasn't even entered the Medicine Tower can already do so, isn't that a slap in their faces?

  Feng Yu returned a glance at the four people's expressions in the dark, the other three were still normal, but that Xie Yuan...

  This Di Yuan, before he met Feng Yu on his way back, had inquired about his temperament. It is said that he has a small capacity and a narrow heart, and has always been dissatisfied with being second to the first of the Medicine Tower disciples.

  As expected, at this moment, Xuan Yuan's face turned even darker than before, and the gaze he looked at him was filled with scrutiny and jealousy.

  Zhu Ling, who had been smiling all along, also added a few degrees of coldness to her smile after hearing Mu Qing's words.

  Zhao Nanxing and Shang Zisu's expressions didn't change much, when they heard that Feng Yugu could refine high-grade elixirs, they only looked at him with a hint of surprise.

  What's wrong?

  Feng Yu felt sweat dripping from his temples.

  Does Murakami acknowledge it or not?

  If I acknowledge it, I will inevitably offend several people present. If I don't acknowledge it, I'm afraid it will drag out the old affairs of Tuo City and ruin his reputation.

  Whether he advances or retreats, it seems that there is no way out for him.

  Feng Yu's eyes locked onto Mu Qing's figure, her heart seething with hatred: 'You're still as ruthless as ever, Mu. Just a few words and you've driven someone to desperation!'

  Feng Yu was still thinking of a countermeasure, but Xie Yuan couldn't wait any longer.

  "He said with a sarcastic tone: 'Oh? The Third Prince of Feng can already refine high-grade elixirs, such talent is truly making me feel inferior!'"

  Is it really necessary to say it with such gritted teeth if you truly feel inferior?

  Feng Yu returned to his heart with anger, but couldn't express it, and could only humbly smile: "Xiao Shixiong is joking, how can I possibly refine high-grade elixirs? It's just a rumor spread by rumors."

  He thought for a moment and decided that in order to achieve his goal later on, he absolutely could not admit to this matter.

  Once acknowledged, he would incur the jealousy of Xuan Yuan and be unwilling to introduce him to Director Hua. Moreover, if this matter were to spread to Yao Ta, someone might ask him to refine high-grade elixirs on the spot, what then?

  It has to be said that Feng Yu has some brains and didn't stubbornly insist on admitting it at this time.

  Although he did this, it is very likely that he will drag out the matter of Taoyuan City, but as long as he pushes all the responsibility away, there is still room for maneuver.

  If you really admit it, then you're asking for trouble.

  "Is it really a case of misunderstanding leading to more misunderstandings?" Xiang Yuan said disdainfully.

  "How could it be a rumor? That day in the imperial city, I personally saw and heard you tell my father that you had refined a high-grade elixir and wanted to give it to my mother to cure her illness." Wei Qi said with glee.

  He seemed to understand Mu Qing's intention and wanted to reenact the events of Tuo City on this Emerald Lake.

  "Not bad, not bad, I heard it that day too." It has to be said that between the dragon and phoenix twins, there is a kind of inexplicable spiritual connection. As soon as Wei Qi opened her mouth, Wei Juan would intuitively come over and echo in agreement.

  Mo Qingge smiled slightly and remained silent.

  At this time, she wanted to see how Feng Yu would resolve the crisis.

  Want to play her with despicable means? Then she will let him be played thoroughly, inside and out, body and mind.

  "You explain! Explain." Mu Qingge admitted that his smile at this moment was a bit cheap. But what can be done, having seen a cheap person, how could he not act cheap?

  "It seems that the Third Prince Feng thinks that I and my junior sister are not qualified to appreciate your high-grade elixir." The words of the Wei siblings made Di Yuan's eyes even colder.

  Zhu Ling no longer smiled brightly, but instead said to Shang Zi Su: "Zi Su, you must be tired. Why don't we head back?"

  Shang Zisu nodded slightly and stood up.

  That swaying figure, like a cloud at the edge of the sky, vague and elusive, making it hard to grasp.

  She turned around and was about to leave.

  Zhu Ling hastily stood up and said to Xuan Yuan, "Brother, I'll accompany Zi Su back first." After speaking, he walked over to Shang Zi Su's side, completely ignoring Feng Yu Gui.

  Shang Zisu was about to leave, and Zhao Nanxing naturally wouldn't stay for long either.

  He slowly got up, politely nodded slightly to everyone to bid farewell, and even didn't miss Mu Qingge and others. Afterwards, he chased after Shang Zisu to leave.

  Three people got on a small boat and went far away from Cuizhou Lake.

  It's as if everything has nothing to do with them.

  On the light boat, Zhu Ling and Shang Zi Su stood side by side. Zhu Ling asked: "Zi Su, do you think that Feng San Dian really has such a talent, to be able to refine high-grade elixirs?"

  Zhao Nanxing stood behind the two of them, his eyes following Shang Zisu, just like her bodyguard.

  Zhu Ling's inquiry, Shang Zisu shook her head without hesitation and said straightforwardly: "No."

  At that moment, Zhu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then laughed so hard that her waist shook. "Zi Su, you are still as frank as ever."

  She said, "High-grade elixirs are not something that anyone can refine. At the very least, one must be a person of extraordinary talent like Master Mei, who has transcended worldly attachments. Does that Feng San even qualify?"

  When mentioning the first person, Zhu Ling's eyes had undisguised adoration, while when mentioning Feng Yu Gui, her eyes only had thick sarcasm.

  Shang Zisu glanced at her and didn't say much.

  Having heard their conversation, Zhao Nanxing smiled and said: "If so, why leave now?"

  Zi Su's eyes seemed to glaze over as if she hadn't heard. Zhu Lian turned around and smiled, "Your Highness, didn't you hear that Zi Su is tired?"

  "Take less of the purple soda." Zhao Nanxing said calmly.

  Zhu Ling's smile was tinged with a hint of cunning: "Since Prince Feng San has deliberately placed himself under my master's roof, he's invited me and my senior brother to this banquet. We'll meet again in the tower later, so why make things so awkward this time?"

  "You're clever, but you've made Elder Xuan a villain by leaving him behind." Zhao Nanxing said with a smile.

  "Brother Shi has always been used to being a bad guy." Zhu Ling smiled and withdrew her gaze.

  Under those smiling eyes, a few shades of darkness are hidden.

  The small boat has gone far away, but on the cruise ship, the standoff continues.

  Xiang Yuan remained seated, clearly indicating that Feng Yu should give him a satisfactory explanation.

  But how should Feng Yu return?

  To tell the truth? He'd rather die than admit he once used someone else's medicine to make up the numbers.

  Suddenly, he brightened up and said to Duan Yuan, "Duan Shixiong, this Mu Gongzi is also a skilled alchemist. It's said that she has also refined high-grade elixirs."

  He thought it was beautiful, just shifting Xuan Yuan's attention to Mu Qing Ge.

  Xie Yuanyang indeed did as he wished, casting his gaze on Mu Qingge. His gloomy eyes seemed to want to probe Mu Qingge inside and out.

  Feng Yu returned with a hint of pride in her heart, wanting to see how Mu Qing Ge would react next.

  If she admits, she would have already offended Xian Yuan before entering the Medicine Tower, and it will be difficult for her to move forward in the tower. If she doesn't admit, she is similar to herself, neither of them will gain an advantage.

  However, he forgot that not everyone wants to fawn on Xuan Yuan like him in order to enter the gate of the Medicine Tower.

  When Feng Yu returned, Mu Qing's song smiled lightly, and his attitude was unknown whether he acknowledged or denied it.

  Xie Yuan's eyes gleamed with a cold light, carrying a hint of jealousy and resentment, as he asked in a sinister tone: "Can you refine high-grade elixirs?"

  "Why must I prove anything to you? Today, I've come only to take a look at the high-grade elixir in Feng San's hands. With Third Master's exceptional talent, it's likely that he'll stand out soon after entering the Medicine Tower branch. If I don't seize this opportunity to take a closer look, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find another chance in the future." Mu Qing Ge said, then looked towards Feng Yu Gui again.

  A good feast was ruined by Mu Qing's sudden arrival. Feng Yu had already been enraged to the point of wanting to kill someone.

  At this time, she actually still stepped forward step by step, it's simply too much!

  "What exactly do you want to do, Mu?" Feng Yu angrily asked.

  Mu Qing's smile still lingered at the corner of her mouth, but a chill crept into her clear eyes: "I think you should know what I want, Your Highness."

  Phoenix hesitated in her heart for a moment, then looked at the angry faces of several others and already knew roughly.

  At this time, Duan Yuan suddenly stood up and said to Mu Qingge: "You say I'm not worthy of knowing your alchemy level?"

  Muxing Ge ignored him, only gazing at Feng Yuguang with a faint smile: "Third Highness, it seems that today I won't have the chance to witness the true appearance of the high-grade elixir. Then let's part ways for now and meet again another day. Also, let me add one more thing, those who venture out will eventually have to pay their debts."

  Having said that, she ordered the boatman to turn the bow of the boat and head towards the shore.

  Mu Qingge left, and Feng Yu's banquet was also ruined.

  Fortunately, there was still one left.

  But when Feng Yu returned wanting to get close and explain, he hummed coldly and turned away with a flick of his sleeve, not giving him any face.

  Feng Yu stood still, feeling a kind of sickening sense of having lost out.

  ……

  "Let him off so easily?" Mu Ge said unwillingly as the small boat walked away.

  Mu Qing looked at her and smiled: "Then how do you want it?"

  "Wei Qianqian said: 'I thought you would fight with him and expose his tricks.'"

  Mo Qing's mouth curved into a faint smile: "What if it's exposed? Sometimes, being ambiguous can have a better effect."

  "How can I not understand?" Wei Kuo asked with a frown.

  Mù Qīng Gē did not explain further, but instead told Wèi Qí: "From today on, spread the word that Fèng Yú Guī can refine high-grade elixirs, and the more widely it spreads, the better."

  Wei Qi looked at Mu Qing Ge with an unclear expression, but didn't ask any further questions and just nodded in response.

  Weiduo didn't respond, and instead asked: "Why must it be done this way? Isn't this just creating momentum for him?"

  "Create momentum? That would only count if he could really refine high-grade elixirs." Mu Qingge said with a light smile. "Give him something to do, so he won't come looking for me when he's idle and causing trouble."

  She wants to throw Feng Yu back very high so it will hurt when he falls.

  Once the news of Feng Yu's return to refine high-grade elixirs spreads, it will naturally attract the attention of the upper echelons of the Medicine Tower. At that time, she will see how Feng Yu explains himself. If he doesn't explain and stubbornly acknowledges it, then she will also take the opportunity to slap him in the face, making him not only lose his reputation in Yu State but also spread this infamous name back to Lü State.

  Isn't he always hoping to get the throne of Chu? How can such a prince with a bad reputation and notorious fame inherit the great unity?

  "Muge's approach is correct." Shuiling said suddenly after a moment of contemplation.

  She saw several people looking over and said: "Do you know who those few people were just now?"

  The Wei siblings looked bewildered. Mu Qing's expression remained calm, impossible to discern her true feelings.

  Shuiling pursed her lips and said, "If I'm not mistaken, those four people should be the top four on the Medicinal Tower's popularity chart. Except for Mei Zizhong, who hasn't arrived yet, all the others are here."

  "What's a Medicine Tower popularity ranking? What thing?" Wei Xuanxuan asked blankly.

  Wei Qi also looked at Shui Ling curiously, hoping she would explain.

  Shui Ling glanced at Mu Qing Ge, seeing that her expression remained unchanged and unreadable. She continued to explain: "The so-called Medicine Tower People's Ranking is a comprehensive ranking among the students of the Medicine Tower. It's usually determined by their alchemy talent and strength. There are only ten spots on the list, with the top five being very stable, while the bottom five often change. It's said that those who make it onto the list are all influential figures in the Medicine Tower and receive special treatment from the royal families of various countries. The three people walking ahead, if I'm not mistaken, should be ranked third, Shang Zi Su; fourth, Zhao Nan Xing; and fifth, Zhu Ling. As for the last person, it should be the eternal second-place holder, Diao Yuan."

  "Hmph, why is he called Old Second for a thousand years?" Wei KuoKuo couldn't help but laugh.

  Shui Ling shook her head and said with a smile, "Because Xian Yuan and Mei Zi Chong almost entered the Medicine Tower at the same time. The two had similar talents, and separately took our country's only two high-level Dan masters as their teachers, almost starting from the same line, but every time they competed, no matter how hard Xian Yuan tried, he always ended up below Mei Zi Chong. After a long time, he got this nickname."

  "How are you so clear?" Wei Kuo Kuo looked at Shui Ling with a face full of admiration.

  "That's for sure! Who am I? These few days in Sangzhi City weren't spent idly." She then looked at Mu Qingge, asking like a child seeking an adult's affirmation: "Mu Ge, do you think I'm fierce or not?"

  This scene immediately brought Fow Tianlong's displeasure again.

  Mu Qing Ge just smiled lightly and didn't say anything more.

  Shui Ling felt a little disappointed, she seemed to have seen Mu Qing Ge's guard against her.

  "So, in the past few days, we've also thoroughly tricked Feng Yigui. Let him put on a big tail wolf's skin and see how he explains it afterwards." Shuiling continued from her previous topic.

  Wei Qi suddenly realized: "If Murong Yu invited Feng Yurong to join the fight against Dandan, he would definitely not be a match for Murong Yu. This way, it would instead make those proud sons of heaven focus their attention on Murong Yu, and put Feng Yurong out of the picture."

  "That's what I mean!" Shuiling gave Wei Qi a 'you're not too stupid' look.

  Upon hearing this, Wei Juanjuan suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! Mu Ge, did you already guess all of these and that's why you did it?"

  One sentence made several people focus their attention on Mu Qing Ge.

  Mochou Ge humbly said: "I'm not a god, how would I know so much?"

  "You really don't know?" Wei Kuan asked incredulously.

  ……

  For the next two days, it was all over Sangzhi City that the third prince of Lugu, Feng Yu, had returned to Tian Tian with extraordinary talent. At a young age, he could already refine high-grade elixirs, and his talent might surpass Mei Zizhong, the number one in the Medicine Tower.

  Feng Yu had not yet entered the Medicine Tower, but he had already become a celebrity in the Medicine Tower. Countless people were waiting to catch a glimpse of this genius alchemist and see his elegance when refining medicine.

  While Mu Qing Ge and a few others took advantage of these two days to tour Sang Qi City.

  After arriving in Sangzhi City on the first day, Si Mo disappeared. He would mysteriously disappear during the day, but every time Mu Qingge woke up from her dreams in the morning, she found herself being held in his arms. Regardless of whether she was cultivating or doing something else before sleep.

  Anyway, it was all inexplicably asleep, and when I woke up, it became today's episode.

  "Morning." Si Mo slowly opened his eyes and gave her a charming smile.

  Mo Qing's mouth twitched, and she pulled away the arms that were wrapped around her, getting out of bed with a calm expression. It was as if the person lying in bed wasn't human, but an object instead.

  "Today, Xiaoge is going to enter the Medicine Tower, right?" Si Mo said suddenly, looking at the straight back.

  Mo Qing Ge did not respond.

  "These days I have some things to attend to, and I'm afraid I've neglected Little Song. Don't be angry, Little Song."

  Bump! Is she angry because of this?

  Can this man reflect on his behavior of suddenly appearing in other people's beds?

  Mo Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in her heart.

  Having adjusted her mood, Mu Qing sang a soft song and walked towards the door with big strides, pushing it open with both hands and stepping out.

  Her resolute figure made Si Mo's eyebrows furrow slightly as he muttered to himself, "It seems that Little Song is really angry. They say when a woman gets angry, she needs gifts to be coaxed. Should I also prepare some gift to coax Little Song into happiness?"

  Mù Qīng Gē walked out of the door with a dark face.

  At a glance, I saw the awkwardly standing Yuhe and Huayue in the courtyard.

  "You two will stay here from today and keep in touch with Mo Yang and others, pay attention to the movements of the Qin State. If there is any situation, please notify me immediately. The Medicine Tower has a rest day every month, at that time I will also come here to meet you." Mu Qing Ge ordered coldly, seemingly in a bad mood.

  Seeing her master's bad mood, Yuhua and Huayue didn't dare to say much either, but frequently nodded their heads, remembering her words in their hearts.

  "Little master, you've gone to the Medicine Tower, take good care of yourself."

  At parting time, Huayue reluctantly bid farewell.

  Mo Qingge nodded silently and walked out of the small courtyard alone.

  It wasn't until she was far away from the small courtyard that Mu Qing's suffocating feeling in her chest finally eased.

  She gazed up at the blue sky and white clouds above Sangji City, exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and headed towards the city's central square.

  By the time she arrived at the square, it was already packed with several hundred people.

  As she approached the crowd, many whispers reached her ears.

  The most talked about is naturally the rumors about Feng Yuexia's return.

  "Hey, have you guys heard? The third prince of Lu Guo who can refine high-grade elixirs has also arrived at the Medicine Tower."

  "It's really laughable, he can already refine high-grade elixirs, what is he doing in the Medicine Tower? If I'm not mistaken, among the branches of the Medicine Tower, there are only three people who can refine high-grade elixirs now?"

  "Maybe he's here to crash the party?" someone jeered.

  "It's also possible that they think they're exceptionally talented and want to show off their skills in the Medicine Tower."

  "Entering the Medicine Tower, I'd like to see if this Third Prince lives up to his legendary abilities."

  "It's not just you who wants to take a look, I also want to take a look."

  Mu Qingge heard these words and seemed to have seen Feng Yuexiu's situation in the past few days, and couldn't help but smile.

  "Mu Ge, over here." Suddenly, a voice calling out to her came from amidst the crowd.

  She looked up and saw Wei KuoKuo excitedly waving at her.

  By her side stood Wei Qi, Shui Ling and Fu Tian Long.

  Mo Qingge slightly retracted his gaze, and walked towards the four people.

  Just as they approached, Wei Qi said in a low and excited tone: "Mu Ge, as you said, the results are remarkable." The words were ambiguous, but everyone present could understand them clearly.

  When Mu Qing appeared, the Wei siblings and Shui Ling seemed to have seen a little fox of an old fox, with colorful glints in their eyes. Only Fēng Tiān Lóng's eyes showed a faint disdain, as if he didn't want to be with them, but was forced to walk together because of Shui Ling.

  Of course, he didn't forget that he had plotted against Mu Qing Ge, so he instinctively showed disdain, but then lowered his head in shame due to Mu Qing Ge's gaze.

  "How has he been these past two days?" Mu Qing Ge asked.

  "Wei Qi replied: 'Hiding in his residence without coming out. It seems that he also sent someone to spread the word, wanting to turn things around, but with little success.'"

  "Look, after entering the Medicine Tower, there will be a good show to watch."

  Just then, Mu Qing Ge felt two gazes mixed with resentment coming her way. She turned around and saw Feng Yu Gui hiding in the crowd.

  He recalled the first time they met, this prince of Lu Guo was spirited and stood proudly. Now, however, he dodged and hid among the crowd, and Mu Qing's mouth involuntarily curled up into a smile.

  This smile fell into Feng Yu's returning eyes, making the murderous intent in his eyes even heavier, and the hatred even thicker!

  "Everyone is here, right?"

  In front of the crowd, a man in white clothes suddenly appeared on the high platform and asked the hundreds of people below.

  As soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Feng Yuexiu and Mu Qingge.

  Everyone slightly raised their heads to look over, and they only felt that although this person's facial features were ordinary, he had a kind of calm and detached air about him, as if he was not tainted by the worldly dust.

  "Who is this person?" someone in the crowd whispered to those around them.

  "Judging from his demeanor, he's probably someone from the Medicine Tower."

  For a time, hundreds of people were all discussing and guessing the identity of the newcomer.

  Shui Ling also squeezed beside Mu Qing Ge at this moment, saying to several people: "It is said that every time the Medicine Tower recruits disciples, it will send a mentor to guide them. This person is probably the guide for this time."

  "How do you know so much, Shuiling!" Fow Tianlong squeezed in between Mu Qingge and Shuiling, looking at Mu Qingge with a proud expression, and said to Shuiling with a flattering face.

  With a pleased smile, he said: "I'm the one who's been hearing rumors about you in Jianghu!"

  "Heh." Wei Qianqian curled her lip and took the opportunity to lean in closer to Mu Qingge.

  At this time, the person on stage spoke again.

  He held a flower name list in his hand and checked the names one by one. Whoever was checked would automatically stand up, walk to the side and wait.

  When he pointed to Feng Yu's name, he seemed to have glanced at him twice intentionally or unintentionally.

  It was not just him, but others also looked at Feng Yu deeply, as if to remember this person who was in the eye of the storm.

  Actually, Feng Yu has already sent someone to secretly deal with this matter.

  No matter how he said it was a rumor, he himself is not a high-level alchemist, and he can't shut up the rumors.

  Rumors spread quickly!

  Public opinion can turn white into black and also turn black into white!

  At last, all the people on the flower register have been checked in.

  The white-shirted man on the platform said, "I am the guide for this Medicine Tower, responsible for bringing you into the tower. Don't think that just by entering, you can become a disciple of the Medicine Tower. After entering, there will be an entrance examination waiting for you. If you fail to pass, you will be expelled and never allowed to participate in any Medicine Tower examinations again. If you pass, you will enter a probationary period, which is extremely important for you. Simply put, it depends on your performance during this period which Dan master's door you can enter in the future. Of course, if you violate the rules of the Medicine Tower during the probationary period, you will also be expelled and never allowed to set foot here again! Did you all hear clearly?"

  "It's clear now!" everyone shouted in unison.

  Wei Qianqian leaned in close to Mu Qingge, whispering softly: "I didn't expect the rules of the Medicine Tower to be so strict. What if I fail the entrance exam? I don't want to return to Tuo City with my tail between my legs."

  "Since you've come, then rest here."

  Refining elixirs requires innate talent, and she had no idea whether the Wei siblings possessed such talent, so naturally she couldn't make any guarantees.

  At this time, she was somewhat interested in knowing what the entrance examination of the Medicine Tower was all about.

  Chirp-chirp——chirp-chirp——!

  Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew up from the ground. The fierce wind that rose from the flat ground blew people's clothes and sleeves flying, and the sandstorm blinded everyone's eyes.

  Mochizuki raised her eyes and looked up at the sky, where several black shadows were flying rapidly, making a series of beastly howls.

  "Look! What's that?"

  "Heavens! It's so big! Is it a spiritual beast?"

  "How can a flying spirit beast appear in this Sangzhi City? Is it a spirit beast attacking the city?"

  Panic is spreading among the crowd.

  The guide of the Medicine Tower calmly said: "Everyone, don't panic. These few flying spirit beasts are just tools sent by the Medicine Tower to bring you all into the tower."

  "What! Such a powerful flying spirit beast is actually a mode of transportation?"

  "The medicine tower is too powerful!"

  "I'm so proud of entering the Medicine Tower!"

  In the crowd, waves of envy followed one after another.

  "Is this the difference?" Mu Qing's heart was shocked.

  At that time, she rode the Flame Horse Spirit Beast into Luo Du, and everyone was shocked. After all, in a third-rate country, there were few people who could ride a spirit beast as a mount.

  But what about the medicine tower?

  It's actually so majestic to use a flying spirit beast as a mount, such a large flying spirit beast, I'm afraid it's not something that can be tamed in a third-rate country.

  The strength of Yao Tower is really not simple.

  Mu Qing's eyes sparkled as she gazed at the five flying spirit beasts slowly descending.

  At this moment, she finally understood why every year's recruitment of Yaotadisciples was not many, yet they had to build such a large square as a gathering place.

  It turned out that this was actually a 'parking apron' for flying spirit beasts!

  A massive object suddenly descended, casting a large shadow over the crowd in the square.

  When the giant claw landed, the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

  These flying spirit beasts were about three zhang in length and over one zhang in width. They somewhat resembled the bald eagles of Mu Qing's past life, yet were also somewhat different.

  For example, the bald eagle does not have a blood-red crest on its head, nor does it have seven-colored feathers on its neck.

  These flying spirit beasts, after landing, appear very gentle and well-behaved, with no ferocity in their eyes. Each one quietly crouches, using its sharp beak to tidy up its own feathers.

  Hundreds of people in the square kept a safe distance from the flying spirit beast, afraid that they would become its next meal if they weren't careful.

  Only Mu Qingge was interested in sizing him up.

  She was amazed to find that on the neck of each of these five flying spirit beasts sat a person, seemingly the controller of the spirit beast.

  "Is this really the beast tamer recorded in the book?" Mu Qing Ge asked herself in her heart.

  "This flying spirit beast is called Yīnyǐng, a gentle creature by nature. Everyone, please don't be afraid. Now, in groups of one hundred, each of you get on the back of a Yīnyǐng." The guide instructed loudly to the crowd.

  After finishing speaking, he took the lead and demonstrated it, his body leaped up and landed on the back of the dark eagle.

  This owl indeed lived up to his words, being carried on someone's back without showing any sign of disgust, remaining calm and quiet, which actually emboldened many people.

  Soon, more than half of them had boarded the back of the dark eagle.

  Wei Qi said to Mu Qing: "Mu Song, let's go up too."

  Mochida Kōsei nodded lightly and boarded the back of the lesser-numbered Dark Eagle along with the Wei siblings, Suī and Fūtenryū.

  Everyone climbed onto the back of the owl, and the guide nodded to several people who were controlling the owls.

  Suddenly, the dark eagle let out a cry, spread its broad wings and flew into the sky...

  Everyone sat cross-legged on the back of the dark eagle, slowly getting used to the discomfort of flying. However, many people still held their apprehensive mood, looking at the mountains and rivers below that were getting smaller and smaller.

  "Wow, I'm really flying!"

  It's not you who flew, but rather you were lucky enough to have boarded a flying spirit beast.

  A strong gust of wind blew around everyone, causing their bodies to sway precariously.

  "The guide reminded everyone: 'Use your spiritual power to control your body shape and maintain stability.'"

  Those tottering bodies gradually calmed down as well.

  The dark eagle flies very steadily and quickly.

  Mochizuki sat cross-legged near the wing, gazing out at the view below.

  From this perspective, the land is truly one of a kind.

  Unlike her past life on a plane, she could clearly feel the speed of the airflow and see the mountains and rivers below her feet.

  Dark eagles, as if carrying them towards the direction of the forest of bewildering dreams.

  But in an instant, they had already left Sangzhi City far behind.

  Mochida noticed that there was no road in this distance.

  "It seems that from now on, entering and exiting the Medicine Tower will require the use of flying spirit beasts." Mu Qing Ge sighed in her heart.

  The dark eagle flew in the air for about half a time and finally slowly descended.

  This time, perhaps due to the heavy load on its back, the dark eagle's dive was not as swift as before, and its speed had slowed down a lot.

  After the dark eagle landed, everyone jumped down from its back.

  The feeling of being down-to-earth made them all slowly come back to their senses from that floating state.

  "Alright, you have arrived at the outer perimeter of the Medicine Tower. Passing through this forest will lead you to the entrance of the Medicine Tower. Your assessment is also about to begin." The guide said suddenly.

  Everyone was shocked and amazed.

  They were still in a daze and hadn't come around yet when they were told that the assessment had begun? What kind of joke is this?

  However, the guide didn't take their dissatisfaction to heart and said indifferently: "From now on, whether you form teams or act individually, as long as you find these few herbs before arriving at the gate of the Medicine Tower, it will be considered passing the first round."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a scroll behind him suddenly fell down, revealing the contents on the canvas.

  Above, written in gold ink, were all sorts of medicinal herb names.

  Roughly speaking, there are over 100 varieties.

  "Are all these herbs supposed to be found? Wouldn't that take a long time?" someone asked.

  "The guide explained: 'Don't worry about so many, just remember these medicines, as long as you find five of them. Also, I can tell you that all the medicines written above are in this forest. Whether or not you can find them depends on your skill in identifying medicines and luck.'"

  Everyone whispered secretly and crowded forward, wanting to memorize the medicine on the scroll.

  Although it is said that only five can pass, no one knows what will be encountered on the road, so naturally all must be remembered to avoid omissions.

  As the crowd rushed to unroll the scroll, the guide said: "This assessment has a time limit. You only have half a day's time, and if you haven't reached the gate before sunset, even if you've collected enough herbs, you won't be able to enter the Medicine Tower."

  "What! Only half a day? Hurry up!"

  Time constraints led many people to rush into the forest immediately.

  The five-man team of Mu Qing Ge still gathered together and did not rush into action.

  Among the crowd, Mu Qingge saw Feng Yugu again. He was alone, and his guards couldn't accompany him due to the rules of the Medicine Tower.

  He shot her a fierce glance before coldly snorting and entering the forest.

  It seems like I'll have to act alone.

  "Shuiling, let's go too." Fow Tianlong urged Shuiling. Seeing that almost everyone had entered the forest, there was some urgency in his eyes.

  "I want to go with Mu Ge." But Shui Ling refused him and walked to Mu Qing Ge's side.

  "What's the point of being with him again? What's so good about him? He might not even pass the entrance exam."

  "Don't spout nonsense, Mu Ge is formidable!" Wei Juanjuan, this loyal maintainer of Mu Qing's light music, was the first to jump out.

  "Wei Qi also said discontentedly: 'Tian Long, your words are a bit too much. Mu Ge's abilities are very clear to both of us siblings.'"

  "You!" Fuyao's dragon energy was left speechless. He could only look at Shuiling and ask in a severe tone, "Shuiling, I'm asking you again, are you going to follow me or not?"

  "I won't!" Shui Ling turned her head to one side, refusing to look at him.

  "Alright, alright! You can follow this little white face then!" With that, Fow Tian turned around and entered the forest alone.

  After Fow Tianlong left, Mu Qingge touched her nose tip and felt a bit speechless in her heart.

  It seems like I haven't done anything, so why did it seem like I've offended someone?

  Wei Qing saw Shui Ling staring blankly in the direction where Fu Tian Long had gone, and couldn't help but say: "Hey, you're reluctant to part with him, why don't you chase after him?"

  Her face flushed red as she argued: "Don't be ridiculous, I don't care about him!"

  "Let's go." Mu Qingge lifted her chin and stepped into the forest.

  Unlike others, her leisurely stroll made people feel that she was not taking an exam at all, but rather strolling in the woods.

  Wei Jia's siblings closely followed her, and Shui Ling also bit her lip and followed.

  "Stinky Wei, did you remember those herbs from just now?" asked Wei Qianqian on the road.

  Wei Qi scratched her head and honestly said: "I just took a quick look, I can only remember half of it."

  "You two came to Yaotai to study, shouldn't you have no problem with the most basic identification of medicinal materials?" Mu Qingge suddenly said.

  Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian both shook their heads simultaneously.

  "No problem, no problem. We've been searching for this medicine for mother for so many years, ordinary common herbs can't hold us back."

  Mocheng Ge nodded slightly, and then reminded: "The herbs on the scroll are ordinary, but because they are ordinary, it's even harder to distinguish. Because there are too many similarities. Which ones are real, you need to carefully distinguish. Don't pick similar herbs back, or you won't even pass the first level."

  Reminded by Mo Qing's words, the Wei siblings finally put down their guard and focused a bit.

  "Everyone disperse and search." Mu Qing's order was given, and several people immediately dispersed slightly, searching for medicinal materials in different directions.

  Each person needs five herbs as an entry qualification, so the four of them need twenty herbs. Of course, the rules do not explicitly state that they cannot be repeated, but the guide's words are also very clear: if you want to get more attention, you must perform better.

  If all four of them passed with the same herb, it would be a bit too perfunctory.

  After Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian walked away, Mu Qingge suddenly grabbed Shuiling's wrist and hid to one side, using the ancient trees in the forest to block the figures of the two people.

  This scene was coincidentally seen by Fow Tianlong who had secretly circled around behind them.

  In an instant, his eyes flashed with anger and he rushed towards them.

  "Mu Ge, do you have something to say to me?" Shui Ling spoke up first. She didn't seem to be worried about Mu Qing Ge's actions at all.

  "Whatever you have in mind, my secret is not allowed to be told. Otherwise..."

  Shuǐ Líng made a crossing motion with her index fingers on her lips, assuring Mù Qīn Gē: "Don't worry, as long as you don't say anything, I won't say anything either."

  A straightforward guarantee made Mu Qing's eyes sparkle. She added, "Also, don't drag me into your affairs with Fow Tian Long..."

  "You shameless stinky rogue!" Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted Mu Qingge's words.

  Right after that, a pale blue knife shadow, like lightning, fiercely chopped towards the ancient tree where the two were hiding.

  A murderous intent mixed with anger caused Mu Qing's eyes to shrink suddenly, and she grabbed Shui Ling's arm, dodging the attack in a flash. As soon as they left their original position, the ancient tree that was covering them was cut off at the waist, crashing to the ground with a loud noise.

  The sudden change startled the water spirit.

  Wei's siblings also rushed over quickly. People who were attracted by the commotion, as well as some other nearby apprentices-in-training.

  "Admire Song!"

  "Admire the song! Water spirit!"

  Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian quickly ran to Mu Qing's side to check if she was injured.

  Shuiling, who woke up from the shock, saw the mess on the ground and glared at Fow Tianlong in anger, scolding: "Fow Tianlong, are you crazy! Do you want to kill me?"

  A faint chill rose on Mochi's absolutely beautiful face.

  Futian Long was at the early stage of the Qing Realm. If her strength wasn't comparable to his, she would have probably been severely injured or even killed by that one blow earlier.

  Since they met, there was no deep hatred, but just a misunderstanding caused by a small matter, is it necessary to be so ruthless?

  "I, I was wrong, Shuiling. I just saw him trying to bully you and lost my temper for a moment." Fēng Tiān Lóng also froze, seeing the angry Shuiling, hastily apologized.

  "Get out! I never want to see you again!" Shui Lingqi turned her back on him, not listening to his explanation at all. She raised her hand and casually pointed in a direction, telling Fow Tianlong to leave.

  Feng Tianlong was stunned on the spot, looking at Shui Ling with a hurt face.

  He had expected Water Spirit's change of heart, but all he saw was anger and determination on her face.

  Before long, Shuiling had no intention of changing her mind. The Wei siblings also glared at him with indignation.

  Helpless, Fow Tian's dragon eyes looked at Mu Qingge with a complex expression filled with resentment before turning his head and leaving.

  The play has ended and the audience is leaving.

  However, this pink scandal was quietly spread out.

  "You're doing this, it will only make him more misunderstood." Mu Qingge walked to Shuiling's side and said in a cold tone.

  "I know. But I really don't know how to communicate with him. He's just a stubborn person who never uses his brain. Sorry, Muge, I didn't expect things to turn out like this and drag you into it."

  Mo Qing smiled wryly in his heart.

  She could feel that Shui Ling was using herself to provoke Fu Tian Long, but she didn't understand why Fu Tian Long's intentions towards Shui Ling were clear as day, so why did she still want to provoke him.

  It's finally out in the open now.

  "Let's go. The assessment is urgent." Helplessly, Mu Qingge could only temporarily put this matter aside.
